Some quotes from RTE's Euro 2008 Commentary Panel



From: Dalibor

Gilesy on Ronaldo - "Marilyn Monroe was the greatest star in the world
but she was never known as a great actor. Ronaldo is like that."

Bill - "Those two defenders are known as the twin towers. And they were
destroyed there"

Bill - "what do you think of Group B gentlemen?" (the group with
Germany, Austria, Poland and Croatia) Souness - "Looks a bit like World War
II, Bill".

Dunphy - "Real Madrid are offering Ronaldo EUR250,000 a week after tax,
he has a model girlfriend, he's 23, he's good looking, I hate him"


Mark Kinsella after Lahm had been fouled (which resulted in Ballacks
stunning freekick), "He really needed to make that tackle........doesn't

matter about the free kick, Lahm was on a good run".

Ballack rifles one home

"Ya see, needless freekicks cost ya"


Bill: - "Just one interesting point. Italy have now qualified for the
quarter final with 4 points ,when last time they failed to qualify with 5
points....whatever that means........i actually don't know" .....

((que laughter from Gilesy and Brady))


With some classic back and forth from the panel

Dunphy - "Holland look good but they haven't played a proper team yet"
Brady - "They beat Italy 3-0 and France 4-1, two WC finalists. what do
you mean a proper team?"
Dunphy - "Sweden"


Brady: "The games at five o'clock have been inferior."
Billo: "For what reason?"
Brady: "Well, I think it is cooler at night, Bill."
Billo: "Hold on, we're only talking 23 degrees. That's what it was like
in Dublin today."
Brady: "Still hot. Still hot. I was playing golf today. I found it hot."
Billo: "Did you shoot a good score Liam?"
Brady: "No, not really."
Billo: "And were you as indolent as they (Romania and France) were?"
Gilesy: "You try playing golf at night Bill."


And best of the tournament

Souness unimpressed with Thierry Henry's bravery for the Italian second
goal:

"He's got his hands down protecting his downstairs area and sticks his
foot out like a nancy"

Eamo: "If you don't mind me saying Graeme, the shot was a bit low to
have affected his downstairs area."

Cue Gilesy mumbling: "You don't know with these lads, Eamon."
